β¦ Synopsis
A laboratory-scale vertical migration, using adult Daphnia magna, was observed within an observational pressure vessel.
The animals exhibit a clearly defined movement along the water column in response to an overhead light regime. The hydrostatic pressure was increased to 41.5 bar (600 psi) during the course of a migration. A short lived increase in swimming rate was observed, but the parterre of the migration was quickly restored; the migration continued at the high ambient pressure. The response of D. magna to light does not appear to be affected by high pressure.

## Abstract Several methods are available for reconstruction of bone defects due to malignant tumors. To extracorporally devitalize resected tumorβbearing bone segments two methods, that is, extracorporal irradiation or autoclaving, are available up to now. However, both methods have substantial di
The direct effects of hydrostatic pressure on matrix synthesis in articular cartilage can be studied independently of the other factors that change during loading. We have found that the influence of hydrostatic pressure on incorporation rates of 35SO4 and [3H]proline into adult bovine articular car
Reports of chemical burns beneath tourniquets during orthopaedic procedures led us to explore the irritant effects produced by the skin antiseptics used during such procedures. A sphygmomanometer and tourniquet, at a pressure of 200 mmHg for 30 min, was used to created pressure and ischaemia which w
